Custom fields
Custom fields add your own information to every card on a board: a client, a cost, a version number, "approved".
Add fields
- On the board, open Customize (or press B), then scroll to Custom fields. You can also click Manage fields inside any card.
- Click +, name the field, and pick a type:
| Type | Holds | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Text | Any words | Client: "Acme Co." |
| Number | A number | Cost: 250 |
| Dropdown | One of your choices, each with a color | Size: Small / Big |
| Checkbox | Yes or no | Approved |
| Date | A date | Contract ends |
| Link | A web address, opens in your browser | Design file |
- Tick Show this field on cards in the board for the ones you want to see without opening the card.
- Use the arrows to reorder, and the trash to delete a field (its values go with it).
Fill them in
Open a card: the Fields section shows every field of that board. Dropdown values show as colored pills on the card when the field is shown on cards.
Good to know
- Fields belong to one board. New board with this layout copies them.
- Copied and pasted cards keep their field values when the new board has fields with the same names.
- The AI tools include fields, so an assistant can fill them in.
